Oh man! Our RTX London parties sold out in minutes, much to the dismay of at least a few people who sadly missed out. If you were one of them, have no fear! We've got two chances for you to win a ticket to our pre-RTX Party Boat, and they won't cost you anything more than a little time.

The second is a little more involved, and also helps out the RTUK team get source images for a new profile banner to go on Twitter and Facebook. Head to this form, submit an image from an RTUK meetup, and get entry to win another pair of tickets!

It really could be as simple as that to join us on a Thames party cruise ahead of RTX London. And who knows, maybe we'll be giving away After Party tickets at some point as well.

It's been a while since we caught up. How are you? I wanted to give you all a bit of an update on what we've got going on with RTUK this year, both as an event and as a community overall. So let's jump straight into the good stuff.

GameBlast - 24/25 FebWe're taking part in Special Effect's annual gameathon, GameBlast! As many of you know, we've loved working with Special Effect in the past to raise money for their cause, and this is the next step in supporting them further. Our own Rob Argent will be streaming from the RTUK Twitch account, starting at 9am on the 24th of February for a whole 24 hours. We hope you'll join him, and his guests, in the chat and helping to drum up support. If you'd like to donate, we've got a JustGiving page dedicated for this event: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/rtuk-community

RTX LondonHoo-boy! There was a time not long ago when RTX London would be a pipe dream for us, and now the second one has been announced. We'll be working hard in the background to come up with another Community After Party, and hopefully some more community focused events this year. What are your plans for RTX London? Doing a new cosplay? Hoping to be a Guardian? Let us know!If you're planning to apply as a Guardian, please read this super helpful post from Head Guardian @Boomer: http://roosterteeth.com/post/51650908Don't forget that Guardian applications are open until 23:59 on the 3rd of March, so make sure to get your name put forward:

RTUK EventI can't say too much, but just know we're looking into it and hope to have a date finalised soon. We're always looking at ways to improve the event too, so if you have any suggestions, please let the Fireteam know.

The Fireteam?As you've noticed, I've used 'we' a lot here and whenever I say that, I'm referring to the RTUK Fireteam. Since we launched as the Fireteam early last year (and before that, we were the RTUK Committee), we often see the question "Who is the Fireteam?" or "How do I contact the Fireteam?" We're putting together some small posts to introduce ourselves, how you can contact us and what we help with within the community. Is there anything particular you want to know about us? Within reason, we want to be as open as we can with you guys, so feel free to ask!Until then, just know that anything you send to the @RoosterTeethUK Twitter account is read by a member of the Fireteam, so you can always reach us there.

RTUK Fan MapFinally, as we get closer and closer to RTX London, people always ask where people are coming from. But did you know we have a map of all Rooster Teeth UK fans? (Obviously not their direct addresses, that would be silly and irresponsible). But if you want to see who might be in your area, check this out:

If you want to get yourself added to the map, just contact either @TopherBeadle or @Tudor here on the RT site with your rough location and any social media accounts you don't mind sharing and we'll sort that out for you.

It's RTX London week, and everyone in RTUK is buzzing about it! Obviously, our community party is already sold out, but there's still a chance you could join us in celebrating the inaugural RTX event in Europe. We've even been gifted some autograph sessions to auction off, so there's something here for everyone.

Please bid generously, as every penny from these sales will go to benefiting Special Effect.

Have you heard the news? We're hosting an after party for the community after RTX London, and raising money for Special Effect to boot! We understand some people have questions, so we'll try and answer some of these below. If your question is not answered, please leave a comment and we'll reply to you.

When do tickets go on sale?Tickets will go live for sale on October 4th. We'll announce it first on Twitter, so go follow @RoosterTeethUK to know first, other social platforms will be updated afterwards.

Can I buy tickets on the door?Afraid not. Due to the capacity of the venue and the drinks tokens being included in the ticket price, we'll have to have a confirmed list of ticket holders prior to the event.There's also a very limited number of tickets available, and we're expecting them to sell quickly!

Do I need to have an RTX badge to buy tickets?

While we'd like to see this as a chance for people who have met at RTX to hang out socially afterwards, we've got no way of stopping anyone from buying tickets if they didn't attend RTX.

How far is the venue from RTX London?

You can take either the DLR up to Stratford from Prince Regent Station (this is the station by the east entrance to Excel) or take the 473 bus North bound. Either option takes roughly 25 minutes.

Is it over 18's only?Yes.

Will any RT staff be attending?We've extended an open invitation to any Rooster Teeth staff or special guests from RTX London that would want to come, but we won't be announcing any guests for the party.

Please do not come to the venue without a ticket in the hopes of meeting RT staff.

Hello creative types!So in an effort to promote our UK community talent more broadly, we're planning to post a daily plug over the next few weeks for creatives through the @RoosterTeethUK twitter and Instagram. Do you have a favourite UK RT fan artist or cosplayer or animator or sculptor or etc etc etc? Would you be willing to pick/provide us an image of your own we can share of yours on Twitter and Instagram (whichever pic/vid you'd like featured, with an RT theme/inspiration), your Twitter handle and perhaps a URL to whatever site of yours you'd like promoted?Please message us your submissions on our Twitter account, or just @ us your suggested artists (hopefully with their Twitter handle) so we can ask their permission to share.

We are SO thrilled to have this prepared in advance this year, and with RTUK only a few weeks away, hopefully it'll allow you guys to plan your time and make the most of the event.

The schedule may end up being changed as we get closer to the date, and timings of panels and tournaments might not be available until the day. But without any other words from me, I give you our schedule!

Our community artists have whipped up some designs for an exclusive Community Shirt to be sold only at RTUK 2017 in August. Only one of these designs will be made into shirts though, so it's up to you guys, the community who will be wearing them, to decide which design you like the best. We'll be counting up all the likes/mods on the four designs across the Rooster Teeth site group, Twitter and our Facebook page to decide the winner, but you only have until June 30th to cast your votes so get out there.

Well, not really, but RTUK members are trying to get us all donating blood this summer.

If you're eligible why not register and donate. Make a difference. There are even some meets being set up to give those of you who need it some support. Head on over to the Events Facebook page for more details -CB

So, you want to attend a UK based RT fan meetup, but couldn't get tickets to RTX London? Or maybe you are going to RTX London, and want a chance to meet other community members? Maybe you just want to attend a community run event in general? If the answer to any of these questions, or the many others that I couldn't think of, is YES, then do we have some news for you!

RTUK, the annual event run by members of the Rooster Teeth UK community, is returning to Leicester once again this August! We'll have a number of different activities spread throughout the weekend that'll be sure to help you get to know your community, and better yet, have an amazingly entertaining time.
